Brothers at Cape Lookout

These boys were enjoying each other's company as well as the ocean on a warm rainy day last weekend. The younger boy imitated everything his older brother did. Pretty good "curve ball" with a big rock, eh?

I'm impressed with this Catherine- from the subjects and setting to the comp, timing and exposure. It works together nicely to capture a really special moment. I'm betting their parents would treasure it. It stirs memories from my own youth and that of our own kids.

Nicely done!

I like the silver tone of the shot and 2nd Hank's comments.

Very nicely done, Catherine. Looks as if the big brother is throwing rocks at the birds ;^)

Nice job,

Carol

Really good shot; comp, action, etc. The White Sox need a new lefty, is he signed?

In time, in time… Or do they have a "little league farm team"? If so, I'll hunt for this boy and let him know. Thanks for the comment, Bruce.

Great posts, all! You've given yourself a good challenge as Moderator, Hank! Thanks for the fun time this week.
